The New Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Is a Costly Affair, But Is It Worth The Price?

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a huge phone with an equally enormous price tag. Samsung’s Unpacked event ended a couple of days ago and with it came some interesting new features aimed to tempt you into buying the Note 8.

The Galaxy Note 8 comes with powerful specs including the Infinity Display, cutting edge Snapdragon 835 SoC, a new and improved S-Pen, and more. A notable feature of the handset is that it will come with a dual camera setup at the back, a first in a Samsung smartphone.

Along with this package of highly-coveted features, the Galaxy Note 8 comes at a ridiculous cost of USD 929 (although it’s yet to be officially confirmed), and that’s just the starting price. If we were to address the elephant in the room, a very costly one I must say, does the Galaxy Note 8 live up to the hype, post-launch? And more importantly, is it even worth the touted price?

Samsung clearly believes in the stylus as a unique selling point since it brought back the accessory with the new Note 8. Although many might understate the appeal of the S-Pen, the stylus is actually quite a difference maker. The accessory offers you the ability to take quick notes without even turning on the phone and has, so far, not disappointed its users.

Although the Galaxy S8 and S8+ cameras are one of the best in the current market scenario, the Galaxy Note 8 is taking it to the next level by introducing a secondary telephoto lens for us to play with. The dual 12MP camera sensors not only come with 2X optical zoom but also with the OIS (optical image stabilization) feature. This dual-camera module is a clear challenge to the existing iPhone 7 and perhaps even the upcoming iPhone 8, both of which come with dual cameras.
